THE LONDOI , : .COURIALS. DAILY EXTRACTg PROM THE MORNING PAPERS, JUNE 17, 1826 [THE Tlmits.] Aftt-:t all the 'prejudices which have been excited 1 4 4 tostqti, awl All the unworthy artificea whie,t have been at- teoreded, the City of London returned yeeterday to Parliament two Repreyn,tetives at least, about whosaindependent and liberal prin ciples there can be no mistake. Aldermen Wood and Weithman are known to the Livery ; th e y alisl lint reserve to the moment of coming to the poll, the &Amino, of their eentimente upon the- most important subjects; nor when interrogated, though ltir. Waithman might, without a reflection upon his manliness, have been somewhat more explicit with vegetal to the Catholics, did either at the Worthy Alito men pretend that he had never thought about the nueetioo, or made up hie mind upon it. Aldermen Wood, indeed, seized the hull tiy the horns. lie avowed his reso lution to vote as he ha.l always done in behalf of religious liherty, though manifestly conscioue that his opennest cost hitettis seat; while Mr.Ward,it young gentlew eo tarbri or thereaboute,hardly seemed to know w hat was meant by 'Catholic 1 inem. ipation ! As it turned mit, Alderman Grniatt'e ill-timed intrusion does natal,- pear to have affected the linel remit!: of the election ; the Lord. Mayor, who was most likely to teller from that uolooked for piece of levity', having fallen short of )Iv. Ward upon the gross poll by. to greater numher of votes than the torn-total who had polled for Garrett. it may h ae well to mention here, that Mr. Ward's corn/little have dieeltimed the Mean forgeries imputed to them on fPliwroley last at the MasiLion-hoose; and have -promised, when_ the easetration of the city bottle adroit* of it, to search out awl ~epees the authors of the Vaud. Cambridge, sve are happy to . yetreeire, continues to manifest a !PAM of the indignity which she would suffer from a repreaelitatiern cepiely on the haei. of 4 ` No Popery." Lord Petri - initial has gained his 'election, hieing 124 a-bead of Alr. Buckingham's aritagorneteeelMr. Noires the younger ;—a gentlemen whose effort*, both in writing awl in ore tern have established for him a fame which nn doubt he would wil ljazgly get rid of. We may bete take occasion to IA why the electors, ineteed oflroulding themeelves with anxieties about the power of the Pope,` do not tondeseend to feel an 'interest in whet iniftledi etely and deeply. concerns the welfirreof the satittlitry. - Why do they not throughout England generally ilitea 'their care to points of real end practical significance ?. , Ak'hy, when pledges are de.

It was molt ritfieulous to hear that creetsfallen gander. Mr: Stunner; catechising Mr. Pal Leer el to hit sentiments on emancipation, it would have been so much More pat, for tome hone t. ,freeholder to get op and insist on the. catechiser I:imeelf elechtaing to the county on which he 'had ,an :long set like en incubus, what were his intentions with regard to other neetteuree of State policy ; as, for instance,—" How, Mr. Sumner, 'will you vote upon a motion for repealing the corn-laws? How hate you voted on that most preeeing question ? Will yon, br will yeti not, vote for a mitigation of the gamble's, through:, Wlrieli so many poor men annually loge their lives? Will yo u: vote for such specific motions Parliamentary reform as may tend to make the House of Commons less a n eng i ne o f thit aristocracy than it teat r fitont ? Will you vote for an tbeditiore of useless plueee-s-for a reduction of overgrown establieliment4— , for any subetatitiel check upon the waste or plunder of the public money?" We are friends, as We hive already said, to teets and, plefitets, awl bonds, aml thottgages upon the honour of Members of Parliament; but let the eternities be required for solid and worthy conejdelatimu. , As. for " No Popery," it has been got ready in the neture of a tub for the whale, that the poor floundering animal may he harpooutd move effectually as on former seeetreions. the clergy, 3.e find, in Westmoreland and Huntiq riostehire er* busying thsineelves with mine than ordinary alacrity, t* opposition to Mr. Brougham and Lord Sohn Rustill—without sO4ct, as it hitherto appears, in the' latter ; without effect, we cur elially hope, in the former.

Whatever May he the Vicar of the present age, a wait of humanity is not one orthern. Now, there Was a harehnese in the- conduct, and a hardness in the language of th Magistrates of Surrey, with re getd In pristine's, whirl, gr.vc very general of once, as dashing with the feelings of the people of the present day. Mr. Sumner tail, that he trusts entirely to punishment ,for the reformation of vice. There is, however, a very general pereurwion, that much mny he done in the way of improving prisoners by instruction and i i udicious treatment. Punishment may deter from the commission of crime, but we fear it will go but a very short way in reforming *Ander*: We have on ninny former occasions commemorated the vii toes of Surrey Magistrates, and therefore we shall not now enter farther into the subject. The ermnty has'been peCuliarly unfortu nate, it is understood, in many of its appointment, ; and we have, heard many solutions of this problem, which wer do not deem it expedient to notice. We trust, however, the lemon read at Gild& tOrd will not he thrown away in the proper porter. [TUE MORNING HER,A.I.4).] The correspondence which has been published as blies taken, place relative to the Shoreham Election, disclotes two things not very ereditable to the partial—the one, that very enlightened Catholics indeed still hold it a point in their religion, though tin y have often disclaimed it, that no faith need be held with heretics; and the other, that equally enlightened heretics have no objection, when it Anita their purpose, to blow hot and cold—or, in' other worth*, to carry two feces under one hood.— Vvlrtlicr it Ise horet creditable to make n communication in con- Metort, uliich is at the time not, meant sincerely, or to violate corittlitti‘c to reposed, — l 4 tl point we leave to essuiate to (lON - Yuji*.

Hallett has expresieed on the ,eame vifhbitt being liable to the charge of inconsistency. In the following sentiments of his we heartily cotton., and only wish that when we stood /thine, nearlyor so, in opposing the, torrent a fraud and currop lion, these few public Men, vim continued feei any anxiety for the virtue atul h'ono'ur of Ilia country, had possessed sufficient reeclution and firMneee to second tour efforts. ! But it is better to becon'e wise even at the eleventh hour than that a Mari Should allow the sun to go down opeli his folly. Those Who read Mr. liallett'e address, will be, 'reminded hy it of what we long ago Predicted ; yet ive woolal tie glad if thole who, ,before recent events, neglect:ell our warning, should *now acknowledge the cor -4eclness of this gentlenian's statement. He says that " All dealings, speciously called speculations, have hail, for a ',Umber of years, a.gambling tendency, not tegulited like tht steady cow mercial and farming trahsactions of our Ibrefethers, tvhn were contented With a filocle,iate expectetion of reward for their labours imd the use of their real capital ; but by hopes of wild and inordi-, nate gain, risking, as our list of bankruptcies can vouch, the ruin' of themselves, their families, and neighbours." These are the words of sobernese and wisdom ; and now that the delirium which so lately set the public ild after funteetic riches has patted away, we sliuuld not wonder if theh tietth would be generally adruituhl. is augurs badly, however, for the virtue of the next Parliament, that in no instance have we heard of either the ohl Members, or the new Candidates, expressing their abhorrence of trimeactieue that deeply dishonoured the last Parliament, and pledging them selves to expose such transactions in future, and to use every ef.; fort to bring the criminal originators of them and their accom plic€S to the bar of pnblic inquiry. No such pledges as these have been given by those who Ate looking for the honours of Re presentation ; and it dots not say notch for the moral principle of the great Mites of the electors .themselves, that no such pledges have been demanded. We do hope, notwithstanding; that public virtue and the sence of shaine have not been so univerieth extin tinguished in England as that there shell nut be funnel in the next. .Parliament a single person who, ih of any renewal of 'such fraudulent practices as we have ahead , witneesed in certain Mein here of both Houses, will have the honesty and couregctivrise in hie place, and demand that the Legislature shall vindicate itself from public contempt, by purging its benches of such diseredi!e ble company. ' [ THE ftgPRESENTATIVE.j The General Election has now arrived at a stage at which it may not be considered prematuto•to venture an opinion of its Character. That character will he - decided by ite effe.:a upon the Catholic Question—the only .point which divides public opi nion, in the whole range of our political system. Viewing it, therefore; in this light, sufficient, we think, has heen,developed, in the course of the elections whisk have taken plate, to show that the general wok is unfavourable to the Catholitecaust. In the two contents just concluded in the metropolis, which gives the ;tone to the country, and aflerds a better criterion than any pro vineittl city, an Anti-Catholic feeling has been sttongly- method. It has thrown the two 'idols of the City into subordinate phteeiron :the poll ; and if tine of them has not been entirely eitinguished, he owe his escape not to his own strength, but to his good for :tune in having an immediate rival not perfectly tree tiora the same obleaion. In Southwark, another portion of the (*lntel, it not 'only generated an opposition, hut nearly Amok the Catholic Mem ber from a Seat which he considered his own for lilh. The eitrof Coventry Ito, fok the first time,.visited the Catholic advocacy its a crime on . its oldest 'and ,levouritt Representatives; aprlllt. Bernal, the late Metnher fur Rochester, is reduced to the tures aesisring the' electors, that although he has hithet to voted for Caidtqlise Enstureipation, finding the senate of his constituent:l ea deeldiAlyladsteree to it, he will he in future guided by their ineleue 01904'111aq nthet i minim eta might he Adduced it which the advoittey l tlukcittholic.eause has either proved fatal to its frietols, or mos terialry, their proeperte. The inference deducible from these prenSistar is, that while the Catholics flatter themselves that their cause is advancing, they deceive themselves; and that, - in stead 'of being prove/49kte, it is in fact become retrograde. This change in publkc opinion derives no ordinary weight and impor tence ft cm the peculiar circumstances under which it his taken place. fled a cry been raised against it, as Mr. Percival's Ad ministration was reproached .with having done, it might have been represented as the result of clamour and intrigue, a dehision produced by artificial webs, which quiet he dissipated by reflec tion, as soon as the people came to their sober senses, and Reason should testsine her attune; But no such objection can be made to the opinion expressed upon the present occasion. The "No Popery,' try was not raised In England previous to the distrait- Lion of PArlininent. No sinister means were adopted fn dierreet ericirty, to inflame the, itessimis, and Mislead the ludginent.-:-Had toy such attempts been made, they would have moved abortive; for, in the late distressed state of the country, people were too much occupied with real and present grievances to devote themselves to the consideration of theoretical or future evils. but, whateVer might have been the result, certain it is the experiment was not made, end the public were left to follow the dictates of their own unbiassed judgment. How this adverse feeling has been eggrivated, at the very time when the Critholice 'lettere , ' themselves it only required calm re flection and consideration to ensure the success of their cause, Would not, perhaps, be difficult to explain. To choose for their champions two men who had declared war agents? the Proteatant establishment was not a vi:ry likely mode of conciliating a Pro testant people. Some liberal and enlightened British Ca tholics may, and •no &Ott did, • lament this error but the, Catholic Body ices not disavowed the doctrine of its leaders. This abstinence from all artificial memos to create an influence favourable to themselves, in the erre tion of a new Parliament, ia not the only praise doe to Ministers. They deserve also credit for the fitness of the time Which they have chosen for the purpose. ' A provincial paper, Tie Derby Illerrtay, justly observes :—" lied the disso lution taken place a year 'wooer, the opponents of Ministers would not hare failed to ear that the Comment had taken ad vantage of their extraordinary popularity at that period, to strengthen themselves in the Ilnute of Common& This cannot now be urged. It is after a season of more than common tress, produced by circumstances over which they had no control, that they make their appeal to the people, If their previous measures 'were bad—if late the nation found with fruitless *kill Its former strength was hut plethoric they now give the country et large an opportunity of executing justice upon them, We eve at present in a situation which enables us, dispassionately to review the policy of our riders. Ministers Own& not from the inquiry, and we see no reason to fear that the consequences of the genital election will be in any way unfavourable to their pretensions." TOTN ESS ELECTION. (We give the following account of the l'atneas election ftoin the littler Flying Post of Thursday, and have only express our regret, that Mr. Baldwin, as a supporter of the true principles and best interests of the Constitution, had not been elected instead of an opposition candidate,) On Monday, agrcably to previous notice, the Freemen and Burgetses of this Borough met in the Guildhall, for the purpose of eleeting two MeMbers of Parliainent.

It was by no means the desire of the party invitingitim to become a Repre sentative for the Borough--.-.that he should act wills the parties who were averse to the measures of the party with whom he was act ing in conjunction, Lord Barnard did rail on Mr. Courtenay in opposition to what had been stated, and an other occasions his Lordship did identify himself with the party by whom he wasnow supported, end had in consequence received the sentiments of the ploy who invited, him, which letter was sent. 21st Dee. 1824: We should, Oentlrtren,,heve been dupes, indeed, if we continued to sup port one, who had on set eral occasions sided with our adversaries.

Dr. Welshthan was called, and stated that he knew ate - plaintiff,. and always considered him a man of talent and a good practitioner; he conceived the charges in the bill fair and reasonable. On the part of the defendant Mr. EARL,: addressed the Jury. He said, that his client from the first had disputed the hill, con ceiving the articles charged to be exorbitant in the extreme, and outrageous to a man of even common sense ; and in the next place, because' he felt satisfied that not one hid of the medi cine charged had been delivered. Ile was no judge of medicine himself, but When he sari - medicine to the amount of one pound, twelve shillings, supplied in one day to a child only , three years old ! he thought that nothing could arise feont ouch - administrations but ill. He would just recount the quantities of Medicine, &c : - given to this poor infant in nine successive days—one bleeding, two blisters, seven leeches, two mixtures, eighteen powders, and ,thirty draughts!--(Loud laughter.)—Why, enough for Chttny himself. - it:wellthrough these exorbitant deliveries of, medicine that his client had refused to pay the balance of his account. He would not make any remarks upon the whole of the charges, but just content himself with saying, that merely for the bleeding of the child the plaintiff had charged five shillings ! In addition to what he had stated, (which he considered would weigh in the minds of the Jury in favour of his client), the servant-maid of Mr. Saxon had repeatedly told the servant of the plaintiff, by orders of her master that no more medicine was required, yet he continued to send in the drugs, in almost greater quantities than he had done before. It would be for the jury, after-the kayoed judge had suin, med. the ease up to them, to decide whether or not, his client ought not to have their verdict. Mr. linANT, the learned judge, then recapitulated the whole of the evidence, and the jury pronounced a verdict fir the plaintiff, 71. 41. 94. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—David Dixon, a ear copper-Blatt !winter, was brought before Sir CLAIAIRTC HUNTIER, at the instance of Air. Diggens, one of Aldermen Wood's Committee, who hared him with distributing to the public in Cheapside, certain election squihtar hand..hills, not hearing the name of the printer thereof; whereby he had incurred a penalty of 'ROI. upon each copy, to the number of twenty-five, under the Statute 19 and 40 (;eo. 111. These hatid-bills set forth, that at a meeting of Catludirs, held at the Catholic Chapel, it had been unanimously resolved to sup port Mr. Alderman Wood : by every means in their power, in return for his atarinch advocacy of their cause ; and Mr. Alderman Wood', Committee, instead of regarding the thing es " a weak invention of the enemy," and treeting it as a mere election jib, thought proper to take it up as something beyond a joke, and in furtherance of such serious .taking up, they took up the distri butor, David Dixon. . Diggens, an active member of Mr. Alderman Wood's Committee, produced a large bundle of these obnoxious hand bills, and deposed that he caught the said David Dixon industri ously distributing them among the passengers in Chempeida; but they had no w;ah to proceed against him, provided he would give up the name of the printer, or the name of the person or persons who employed him to distribute them. Sir CLAUDIUS 11U tiEll. having read c% of the hand-hills, ob served,—" Why this is one of the commoneet election squibs I ever saw, and you, think it worth while to try to get at the author of it. In that I cannot aesiet you ; nor do I see whet good par pose it could answer. All I have to do is to enforce the law against this poor men for :publishing hand-hills wittoot the prin ter's name. Yon see, my friend, you hive got yourself into a Very awkward serape—or somebody else has got you into it ; for, by publishing these things, you have incurred penalties, which, mitigate them as low as 1 possibly can, will amount to more than one hundred . prelude." David Dixon 'deeded ignorance of thclaw. He was a poor copper-plete printer out of employ, he said, and in coming into the city to look fur work that morning, he met " a gentleman," at the corner of Fleet-street by Mr. Wsithinan's window, with a large bundle of these bills under his arm, and he, having asked him if he wanted a job, gate him two or three hundred of them to distribute, end paid him beforehand two 'shillings lot his trouble. That was all hr knew about time matter, told he declared be bull no idea to was doing wrong in ditariloiting them. Mr. Diggens, however, seemed to have a sort of so idea that David knew more about the matter than Ile was willing to ac knowledge—that, in fact, he had been set on to do this deed by sonic of the anti-Wood committees ; and he took much pains to induce David to confess that such was the case; but David solemnly denied having had anything whatever to do with committees or committee-men, and therefore Mr. Diggens repeat ed that they had no wish to punish him. " But you have placed hint in a situation in which he cannot escape punishment,". said Sir CLAUDIUS HurTett t—" Having been brought here, and the offence having been proved, it is im• iierative on me to inflict the penalty." After some further conversation, however, in the course of which it appeared: that, as one moiety of the penalty must go to the informer, and that informer was Mr. Diggens himself,' who of course could not in such a case be a competent witness, David WAS remanded for further examination on the morrow. do/in UM, another distribittor of election mud's, was next placed at the bar, charged with a similar offence—he having dis tributed a printed copy of verses without the named' the printer; in which verses Mr. Alderman Wood was described as a staunch supporter of the Pope. The prisoner made the same sort of defence as his companion in misfortune; and he also was ordered to be brought up on the morrow (this day), when probably they will both be discharg cd—the anxiety which, led to their capture having passed away. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A deputation of the inha bitants of Oxford-street yesterday waited on Ali. CON A NT, to *A pse a fraud practised by a neighbour on the feelings, of the phi lanthropic. One of the gentlemen produced two Sunday papers, the one containing a paragraph, stating that es'Mr. James and Mr. Mallcott, of 78, Oxfordestreet, were on a party of pleasure on the Themes, in company with two young ladies, the boat was upset, and Mr. James was drowned ; but the young ladies were saved by the exertions of Mr. Mellott. The other Paper stated, in an advertisement, that in consequence of the ' sudden death of Mr. James, the stock of linendrapery would be sold oft by Mr. Malcott, at reduced prices, for the benefit of the widow.-- The gentleman further produced a hand-hill, with which the pa nes of the shop were placarded, headed " Sudden Death," with 'a broad mourning {Sorrier, and a copy of the advertieement, signed ‘‘ James Roberts," and "•Owen Jones," executors. Now, he had made every inquiry, and ascertained that ho Mr. James had been drowned, sod that the baud bills and shhtting up the shop for two days was nothing more than to excite the feelings of ladies, who would naturally feel interested in alleviating, in some measure, the distress and blighted prospects of a widow. The Constable - attended, Sind elated, that he had been hoaxed by somebody out of Rd, for postage and a dey's work, to make inquiry after the body and to summon a Jury.
